Abstract
The present invention relates to a mechanical orthotic that is an aid to walking, which attaches to the foot of the individual receiving treatment and to a mobile partial weight support apparatus, characterized in that it enables the individual to carry out walking and forward movement in just one operation and using the same device. Said device is essentially a mechanical orthotic that moves the foot; the device is attached to the foot of the individual and to the mobile partial weight support apparatus, consisting of a conveyor belt for the foot, from which belt extends a metal shaft with a foot support system at the end of the shaft where the foot will rest. Said conveyor belt is mounted on a matrix in the shape of the trajectory of the foot during walking. The matrix consists of a metal plate fixed to the mobile partial weight support apparatus and a system of bearings that enables the foot conveyor belt to move in order to reduce friction in the system. The orthotic is designed so that one device attaches to each foot, wherein the mobile metal shafts extend toward the individual, and are laterally fixed to the mobile partial weight support apparatus. The foot conveyor belt is in direct contact with the ground, and when moved by a therapist, the entire system (mobile partial weight support apparatus, mechanical foot movement orthotic and the individual) moves the foot conveyor belts, thereby moving the feet.
Description
- The object of this invention is a mechanical mobilizing foot orthosis, to be fixed in a partial suspension apparatus of movable weight to be the assistance on the human gait.
- In the field of rehabilitation, orthoses are “elements that correct or facilitate the execution of an action, activity or movement, trying to save energy and increased safety” according to the Ministry of Health of Chile in 2009.
- Within the wide range of rehabilitation techniques, devices are known that assist, facilitate and train the march, which have a partial discharge system of movable weight, needed to upright the individual to be rehabilitated and give him the sensation of weight on his feet, in order to achieve his muscle's responses and also with elements that mobilize the lower extremities, simulating normal locomotion. These mobilizing items can range from manual mobilization carried out by two or more therapists, up to technical assistiance devices or orthoses, with the ultimate goal to recover, at least partially the human gait.
- Known techniques show different treatment alternatives and improved rehabilitation methodology. Initially, manually applied therapy, with the individual supported by his own arms and the legs being mobilizing by therapists. Then, came the partial suspension system of movable weight, which was installed on a treadmill machine and the mobilizing element remained being done by therapists. While both forms are still used in rehabilitation centers, currently the technique has been perfected, incorporating orthoses, which mobilize the extremities of individuals to be rehabilitated, moving from the thighs and legs of both limbs simultaneously, simulating a cycle of “normal” walk.
- The already known rehabilitative technique shows different improvements, in orthoses for walking, searching for better results in the rehabilitation of the individual, achieving standardize treatments and adapting to each individual, but all devices currently work with static rehabilitation, on a treadmill or treadmills tapes.
- By contrast, the present invention provides a mechanical orthosis for the assistance in walking, that is attached to the foot of the individual being treated and to the movable weight partial suspension apparatus, whose characteristics allow the individual to execute the function of walking and moving forward with the same device and in a single operation.
- The device of the invention is a mechanical mobilizing foot orthosis that is attached to the individual and to the movable weight partial suspension apparatus, comprising of a foot conveyor belt, from which a metalic shaft is projected, with a foot support system at the end of it, where the foot of the individual will be supported. This conveyor belt is mounted over a mold that has the shape of the path of the foot during walking. The matrix or mold is composed of a metal plate, attached to the movable weight partial suspension device and to a bearing system, that allows mobility of the foot conveyor belt to reduce the friction on the system.
- The orthosis is designed to be attached one on each foot, with movable metal shafts designed for the individual, and held laterally to a movable weight partial suspension apparatus. The foot conveyor belt is standing in direct contact with the ground, and when is moved by a therapist, the entire system (mobile weight partial suspension apparatus, plus the foot mobilizing mechanic orthesis, plus the individual itself), shifts the standing conveyor belts mobilizer and they subsequently move the feet.
- To better understand the invention, it will be described based on a preferred modality, the one which is illustrated in the drawings, which has only an illustrative character, not limiting the scope of the invention, nor the dimensions or the number of pictured elements, nor the fastening means that are exemplified.
